Lack OF Srontaneity.

PHILADELPHIA, December 27.-There was
lack of spoHtaneity in the return to work
OF the Reading Railroad Company's en-
ploy es at the wharves of Port Richmond
this morning. This was not due to an uu-
willingness on the part of the men, but
delay in the circulation of the general Or
der to return, coupled with the fact that
the disafiected were rather late in putting
in an appearance at their usual points OF
rendezvous. However, what little coal
there was on the tracks was enough, and
more, too, fo- many had to be put to work
at odd jobs until some of the side-tracked
fuel came down the road. superintendent j.
o, Keim was at his post of duty at an early
hour. he received the men pleasantly
as they put in an appearance. As a general
rule the men would express satisfaction at
the happy prospect OF an smicable adjust
ment. A few, however, after reaching the
waTves and finding the non-union men, who
had teen employed in their absence, there
at work. turned about and walked Off,
Late in the afternoon an incident oc-
cured which came near causing all those
at work to leave the wharves. During the
night two colliers, the Pottsville and
Rattlesnake, steamed up to their piers, and
their crews, who are also members Of
River Front Assembly, knights of Labor,
were in total ignorance of the situation
surrounding them. When they arose this
morning and learned the cause OF the idle.
mesa in the scenes that are wont to be so
busy, al hands, fourteen in number, re-
fused TO obey orders, and were promptly
discharged. This incident was misinter-
preted by the Knights at work, and consid-
erable explanation was required to
straighten matters out.

The New Coke camhins.

PITTsBURe, December 26.-The coke oper-
ator's meeting tomorrow will probably re-
suit in the formation of O stronger syndi-
cate than the one recently disrupted, mas
much as the leading independent operators
signifed their willingness to become men,
bers of the new organic alton. The p. @,
Ffick Coke Company will not be included
in the new syndicate, but no opposition is
expected from this firm. 1t has large con-
tracts with the Carnegie's, who own ma
iority of the stock in the Frick company,
and for this reason it is said the Frick
company Will maintain an independent
position. 1t is further reported that An
drew Carnegie refused to enter into q COM
bination with the other coke operators,
because IL might not be convenient for
him TO carry out the agreement IN case Of
q strike. During the last strike he was
placed In position where he had to have
coke, bis steel interests being greater than
his coke interests, and he could well af-
ford to sacrifice . few hundred dollars in
coke nnd makeoit back in his steel mills.

charged strikers, and IL is expected that a
general tie-up along the whole line will be
reinaugurated tomorrow.
A meeting of the Reading Railroad en-
ployes' convention, composed Of represent
atives of railroad employees and miners at
Reading coal and iron companies golfers,
win assemble in Reading on Thursday, at
which i. is intimated by leading Knights
of Labor here that unless a settlement is
Ie.ched the miners will be ordered to
strike, and the passenger train crews called
out Intense interest is felt here in the
developments of tomorrow morning, bat
there are many who are disinclined to
believe that the Knights along the line
who have been re-employed will consent
to strike sgain.
The Reading coal miners convention to
consider wages for next year was in session
until late hour without reaching a de-
cision. When they heard OF the position
taken by the company toward the striking
railroad employees, they became angry and
adjourned until tomorrow, promising to
take aggressive action.

Trouble nj Palo Alto.

PorTsvILLE, Pa, December 27.-From
some cause the order to the Reading strik-
eIs at this point to return to work did not
reach here until the middle of the FORE
noon, and when the crews belonging to the
Palo Alto terminus reported for duty they
found that several trains had been sent out
with new crews, and they were informed
that, under the orders of Manager Mcleod,
they could not be taken on. A meeting Of
Assembly 1859 was called. The assembly
was declared locked out The Port Rich
mond Assembly was called on to stand by
them, and an appeal was made TO Superin-
tendent Weigard to countermand the ac-
ton Of the Palo Alto dispatcher.
A committee sent to Philadelphia to
confer with Superintendent Sweigard in
reference to resumption of the strikers, re-
turned to tbsa city this evening and re-
ported that Mr.. Sweigard had insisted up
on the peremptsry discharge of the COM
mittee who first waited upon him with
reference to the Port Richmo nd trouble,
together with the Eve crews who refused
to handle the -four cars. The committee
consented to this and then asked guaran-
tee that all other strikers would be re-em-
ployed. This Superintend dent 6Weigard re-
fused and the conference abruptly termi-
mated. This report greatly incensed the
meeting, and rs result the
committee left here tonight for
